1. قد غَزاني هواك أيَّدَكَ اللَ

    هُ بجُندٍ يطلبنَ قلبي بثارِ

    Your love has invaded me—may God strengthen you—

    with troops seeking vengeance upon my heart.

  2. فالتقينا من العتاب طويلاً

    بين صَفَّي ملامةٍ واعتذارِ

    So we met in a long exchange of reproaches,

    between the two ranks of blame and apology.

  3. كم تراني قبِلتُ عتبك لو مَت

    تَ لسيف الخضوع والإقرار

    How much of your reproach would I have accepted, do you think, had you died

    by the sword of submission and confession?
